Jamie Lee Curtis has been busy attending events for the upcoming release of Freakier Friday, the sequel to the much-loved 2003 film. Not only have her red-carpet looks been serving us inspiration, but her recent airport outfit nails that long-debated topic of what to wear on a plane.
Whilst your best trouser suit may not spring to mind immediately when considering the comfiest and most practical staples to wear whilst travelling, Curtis' soft jersey take on tailored separates reveals that tailoring can work if you get the materials right.
Captured leaving JFK Airport yesterday, the actress wears an all-black ensemble that feels elevated and smart, whilst also looking practical enough for long travel days. She opts for slinky black trousers with a slight flare, a simple black t-shirt, a fitted blazer, and the crème de la crème of travel-appropriate footwear – the best white trainers.
That's not all; she also finishes her airport attire with some chic aviator sunglasses that tie into the spring/summer sunglasses trends of 2025 effortlessly and a crossbody phone case that sits neatly on her left hip; however, if we were to recreate this look for the airport a handy black crossbody bag can prove to be even more practical.
